A disturbing video has emerged showing a young New York City woman, Jennifer Guilbeault, attacking her Uber driver with pepper spray in Manhattan. The incident occurred around 11:20 p.m. on Tuesday at Lexington Avenue and East 65th Street. According to police and dashcam footage, Guilbeault, who was in the back seat with another young woman, suddenly reached around and sprayed the 45-year-old driver in the face while he was on the phone. The video, circulating on X, Reddit, Instagram, and YouTube, captures the driver yelling, “What? What? What?” as he tried to fend off the attack. Guilbeault held his arm down and sprayed him again as he attempted to escape. Her friend could be heard pleading, “Jen, Jen, Jen! Jen, what the f**k! What did you do?” after the driver managed to get out of the car. Guilbeault appeared shocked as she exited the car, while her friend urged, “OK, take your stuff. Let’s go. We have to go,” before the video cut off. Guilbeault was arrested around 12:45 a.m. on Wednesday and charged with misdemeanor third-degree assault. She received a desk appearance ticket, requiring her to return to court at a later date. Official records confirmed she had no previous arrests. The video has sparked outrage online, with one user commenting, “NYC Woman randomly maces Uber driver ‘because he's brown,’” while another noted, “She was smiling at her friend after assaulting that driver. When the friend continuously confronts her, the assaulter looks like a scared child getting caught doing something bad.” US Shocker: Uber Driver Forced to Flee Gunfire After Picking Up Passenger in Chicago's West Garfield Park, Dashcam Footage Surfaces.
